Many agree on this.

Few agree about what the fix looks like.

Urge your Members of Congress to support and pass H.R. 251, the Legal Workforce Act, and S. 1151, the Accountability Through Electronic Verification Act, to mandate E-Verify for all employers and complete the administration’s worksite enforcement crackdown.

ICE has dramatically escalated worksite enforcement. The agency’s rate of I-9 audits in 2025 was at least ten times the rate of 2024, and ICE has publicly reported more than 40 worksite enforcement actions resulting in over 1,100 arrests since the start of the Trump administration’s second term. In March 2026, ICE reclassified dozens of common I-9 paperwork errors from “technical” violations – which employers could correct during an audit – to “substantive” violations that trigger immediate fines of $288 to $2,861 per form with no opportunity to fix them. An employer with just 200 forms containing these errors could now face penalties exceeding half a million dollars.

ICE also now has access to 1.28 million employer tax records through an IRS data-sharing agreement, and DHS has requested access to a federal employment database covering virtually every worker in the country. The administration has funded 10,000 new ICE officers – the largest personnel increase in agency history – and is using I-9 audits not just for civil penalties but to identify unauthorized workers for removal and pursue criminal charges against employers.

This enforcement surge is welcome – but it exposes a fundamental gap in the law. Employers are still only required to visually inspect work authorization documents at the point of hire. They are not required to verify those documents against government records. That gap is why illegal hiring persists even under the most aggressive enforcement campaign in memory – and it is exactly what mandatory E-Verify would close. Penn Wharton estimates that mandatory E-Verify would raise wages for authorized workers by 5%.

Please send a message to your U.S. Representative and your two U.S. Senators urging them to support and pass H.R. 251, the Legal Workforce Act, and S. 1151, the Accountability Through Electronic Verification Act, to mandate E-Verify for all employers.

My my. Seems someone is part of the circle jerk fantasy

Major Trump-Era Restrictions on Legal Immigration

1. Public Charge Rule (2019)
The administration expanded the definition of “public charge,” making it harder for immigrants who had used or were likely to use certain public benefits to obtain green cards or visas. This had a chilling effect far beyond the actual denial numbers.

2. Travel Ban
Trump restricted entry from several predominantly Muslim-majority countries through a series of executive orders and proclamations, upheld in part by the Supreme Court in Trump v. Hawaii.

3. Suspension of Immigrant Visas During COVID-19
In 2020, Presidential Proclamation 10014 temporarily suspended issuance of many new immigrant visas abroad, blocking tens of thousands of prospective permanent residents.

4. H-1B and Other Temporary Work Visa Suspensions
Presidential Proclamation 10052 temporarily halted issuance of new H-1B, H-2B, L-1, and certain J visas from abroad during the pandemic.

5. Increased H-1B Denials and RFEs
USCIS sharply increased Requests for Evidence and denial rates for H-1B petitions, particularly for extension requests and IT consulting firms.

6. Elimination of Interview Waivers
The administration expanded in-person interview requirements for employment-based green cards and many adjustment-of-status applicants, slowing processing considerably.

7. Reduction in Refugee Admissions
Annual refugee ceilings were cut repeatedly, reaching a historic low of 15,000 for fiscal year 2021.

8. Proposed Elimination of H-4 EAD
The administration sought to rescind work authorization for many H-4 spouses, though the rule was never finalized.

9. “Buy American, Hire American” Executive Order
This order directed agencies to rigorously enforce immigration laws and prioritize the “most-skilled or highest-paid” applicants.

10. Expanded Visa Vetting and Administrative Processing
Enhanced security screening increased delays across numerous visa categories.

Trump Organization sought to bring in nearly 200 workers on visas in 2025

President’s family business requested at least 184 foreign workers for Mar-a-Lago, Virginia winery and two golf club

https://thehill.com/business/5603478-trump-organization-foreign-workers-2025/

The Trump Organization requested 184 foreign workers to work across various company properties, a record number that has increased over the years.

https://www.mooreandassociates.net/2018/07/03/trumps-history-of-hiring-immigrants-and-employment-law/

Trump hired undocumented immigrants for one of his demolition projects. He paid them $4 an hour. It appears that Trump’s practice of hiring immigrant workers to save money is not an isolated occurrence. The Hill reports that Trump only hired one American worker out of 144 seasonal openings at his Mar a Lago resorts.

In the case of the demolition project in New York, Trump eventually settled the case with the demolition workers for $1.3 million. The workers claimed that they sometimes put in 12 to 16 hour shifts are were often not provided with safety equipment while working. Reports indicate that Trump threatened the workers with deportation when they complained about not being paid or protected on the job. The workers eventually won a wage violation case as well.

Not a single MAGA complaining about Trump. Apparently, Trump can't find low skilled American workers.
